NVIDIA Launches CUDA 5.5 Toolkit Featuring Support for ARM Platforms

In addition to partnering a research team at Stanford University to create the world's largest artificial neural network, NVIDIA has also announced the public availability of the latest version the NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing platform and programming model, which for the first time delivers support for ARM-based platforms.

Available today as a free download, the CUDA 5.5 release candidate brings the power of GPU-accelerated computing to ARM platforms, the world’s fastest-growing processor ecosystem – approximately 10 times larger than the x86 CPU-based market.

The new CUDA release provides programmers with a robust, easy-to-use platform to develop advanced science, engineering, mobile and high performance computing (HPC) applications on ARM and x86 CPU-based systems.
